[0.2.1] - 2025-06-23

Removed

• Removed the rayon dependency and parallel tree walking for now (related to #10).

Added

• Integrated the lscolors crate to respect the LS_COLORS environment variable, allowing for user-configurable file and directory colors that match their system's theme.

• Added a Nix flake configuration (flake.nix) to provide a consistent and reproducible development environment for contributors. (PR #10)

Fixed

• Fixed garbled color output (raw ANSI codes) in the classic view mode on some Windows terminals. The application now explicitly enables virtual terminal processing on startup, ensuring color codes are interpreted correctly.

• In interactive mode, the selection highlight was changed to use reverse video, guaranteeing visibility and contrast regardless of the underlying file color.

• Fixed a double-input bug in interactive mode on Windows that caused erratic navigation. The TUI now correctly filters for key press events. (Closes #21)

• Fixed a critical issue where the classic view mode could produce scrambled and incorrect directory trees on certain systems, particularly on Windows. The directory walker for this mode was changed to a serial implementation to guarantee a consistent and correct output order in all environments. (Closes #20)

• Optimized the release build profile in Cargo.toml by enabling LTO, stripping symbols, and setting panic = "abort", significantly reducing the final binary size. (PR #11)

• Removed the build-time dependency on openssl by disabling default features for the git2 crate, which simplifies building from source.

• Refactored the project to use the version of crossterm re-exported by ratatui, preventing potential dependency version conflicts. (PR #13)

• Optimized the git2 dependency by disabling its default features. This removes the build-time requirement for openssl and reduces the total number of dependencies. (PR #5)

• Fixed broken icons in GIF. (Closes #4)

[0.2.0] - 2025-06-17

Added

• Interactive Mode: A new interactive subcommand that launches a terminal-based UI.

  • Keyboard-driven navigation (Up/Down, j/k).
  • Directory expansion and collapsing with Enter.
  • Ability to open selected files in the default editor ($EDITOR).

• Git Integration: A new -G, --git-status flag displays file statuses (M, A, ?, etc.) in both classic and interactive modes.

• Shell Integration: In interactive mode, pressing Ctrl+s now quits and prints the selected path to stdout, allowing lstr to be used as a file picker for other shell commands.

• Rich Information Display:

  • Added --icons flag to display file-specific icons (requires a Nerd Font).
  • Added -s, --size flag to display file sizes.
  • Added -p, --permissions flag to display file permissions (Unix-like systems only).

Fixed

• Resolved an issue where the --gitignore (-g) flag would fail to ignore files in certain environments.

• Fixed a critical bug where the interactive TUI would hang and produce garbled output when piped to another command.

[0.1.1] - 2025-06-06

Added

• Initial release of lstr.

• Core recursive directory tree walking and printing functionality.

• Colorized output for directories, configurable with the --color flag (always, auto, never).

• Control over recursion depth via the -L flag.

• Option to display directories only via the -d flag.

• Option to show hidden files and directories via the -a flag.

• Ability to respect .gitignore and other standard ignore files via the -g flag.
